The best ways to travel around in Slovenia

What do you know about Slovenia? That's that question that Stephanie Owens and Alexander Ingram asked of their families and friends when they got married there last fall. The American bride and Australian groom met through friends in New York City and have lived there the majority of their adult lives, but their loved ones are based around the globe. “We decided that it made sense for everyone to travel [for our wedding],” says Stephanie, “and we also thought that that would help to make it feel more intimate.”

To obtain a visa for Türkiye, digital nomads can easily initiate their application process from the Digital Nomad Pre-Application platform Digital Nomad GoTürkiye. After completing the requirements on this platform, which is just the first step of the process, digital nomads will receive a “Digital Nomad Identification Certificate”. With the certificate they receive from the platform, digital nomads need to continue their process at the Turkish consulates and/or visa centres.

Wild Canvas, one of the recent wave of pop-up campsites with a festival vibe, has a host of new additions for its fifth outing this summer. The campsite makes the most of its riverside setting on the Turvey House Estate near Bedford. It has a new wellness area, the Nest, with direct river access (BYO paddleboard!) plus a yoga yurt, a mobile sauna, a treatment tent for massages and free early-morning activities from meditation to boot camp.

Slovenia’s history has long been rooted in the tradition of beekeeping, with people having relied on the healing powers of bees and their products for years. Slovenia is also the country that has the most beekeepers per capita in the world. The country proposed to the UN that the 20th May be named World Bee Day back in 2017. The date marks the birthday of 18th century bee expert, Anton Janša, and is now celebrated every year.

Family vacations are the perfect opportunity to spend quality time with loved ones and strengthen family bonds. One study found 40 percent of parents planned to spend more on international travel with their families this year. There is also a growing trend of multiple generations traveling together.

Beyond the Netherlands’ biggest and best-known cities, a patchwork of farmland, fields, villages and towns laced by canals, polders, dykes and windmills unfolds across the flat, low-lying Dutch landscapes.

Ryanair, easyJet, and Wizz are Europe's three biggest budget airlines, but the experiences can be quite different.

Much of Challengers’ runtime not spent on a tennis court goes down in a suite and lobby bar at an unnamed luxury New Rochelle hotel. (The film was shot in Boston.) While the techno-pulsing tennis piece of erotica never establishes whether or not these lodgings have a place to play on the premises, there are allusions to sports power couple Tashi and Art Donaldson’s (Zendaya and Mike Faist, respectively) preferred vacation destinations when off the clock. Considering the former’s clinging obsession with the game, and use of the latter as her proxy (she cannot play following an injury), it would be difficult to imagine tennis isn’t somehow involved.

When planning a recent weekend trip from my home in New York City to Washington, D.C., I was delighted by the many transportation options to choose from. But the more I looked at the options, the more I began to wonder which option was the best. With many different ways to get between the two cities — planes, trains and automobiles — I decided to put two of them to the test.

There’s something quite particular about small but perfectly formed Assos – butterscotch and rose-pink houses line a horseshoe bay, with Venetian ruins scattered between the narrow alleys. There are two small beaches, but the real joy is to rent a motor boat and discover the small bays and coves that fringe this part of the Cephalonian coast. Walkers can follow the path out on to the headland to the ruins of Assos’s 16th-century castle; there’s not a huge amount to see, but the views make the walk worth it. Roi Suites is a bougainvillaea-clad cluster of well-equipped studio flats in a waterfront neoclassical building, with gorgeous sea views from the pool terrace.

Thanks to a great public transport system, an extensive bike lane network and a growing number of shared-mobility initiatives, getting around Munich is not only easy, it's enjoyable.
